HOWARD WOLPE
Wolpe criticizes U.S. foreign policy
By Carmen Chandler
Investigations Editor
Michigan Congressman Howard Wolpe criticized the United States' perception of the continents of Africa and Latin Amenca as being narrow-minded in a speech before more than 60 students in Heritage Hall Tuesday afternoon.
Wolpe, chairman of the House of Representatives' Africa subcommittee, a member of the foreign relations committee and a former professor of political science at West Michigan University, said the American government sees these countries in only East-West terms.
"We are constantly obsessed with the Soviet threat in Africa, and the assumption that we seem to take as we look at the continent is that everything that happens on the continent in Africa is the function of Soviet manipulation. We don't get interested unless there is a perception of Soviet involvement, in one place or another," Wolpe said.
"That's the same kind of approach we are taking in Central America — where the full premise of American foreign policy is that basicallv what is at issue is this fight against the Soviets and the Cubans," he added. "The fact the Salvadorians are involved and the Nicaraguans are involved is kind of secondary."
Wolpe said this perception by the United States was hampering its relations with those countries.

Ties to church disputed by College Republicans

Representatives from the Trojan College Republicans, along with members of its brother organizations in the region, held a press conference Tuesday morning to formally denounce the attempts of the Unification Church to integrate its programs with the political youth organization.
The College Republican leaders, in a prepared statement, said that they are prepared to take a stand to "prevent our organizations from falling in league with the Unification Church."
The College Republican leaders said they have "experienced the pressure of the Unification Church's attempts to become actively involved with us."
Ted Green, president of the Trojan College Republicans, said the press conference was a public attempt to stop the Unification Church's repeated attempts to involve itself with the College Republican organizations across the country.
Green also said the Trojan College Republicans passed a resolution last week within their own organization against the church.
Mark Anderson, director of the Unification Church in Los Angeles, said the College Republicans did not serve notice that they were going to hold their press conference in front of the church.
"I was having breakfast, and there they were," he said.
Green said the press conference was "excellent."
"I feel strongly about it — we made our point clear," he said. "We wanted to emphasize our detachment from the Moonies."
Anderson expressed some concern that the students — who represented College Republican organizations at schools such as Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, UC Irvine and East Los Angeles City College — were "not who they said they were, and did not have any approval from their state officials."
Green confirmed that students did not have the approval of their state board of directors to make such a statement against the Unification Church.
However, he explained that of the 13 students who signed the statement, "many hold state offices" including himself as an area vice president.
It was recently reported by the Los Angeles Times that the Confederation of Associations for the Unity of the Societies of the Americas (CAUSA), an entity of Rev. Sun Yung Moon's Unification Church, donated 55,000 toward a Republican-sponsored youth conference held at Lake Arrowhead last month — a deed which Green feels was an attempt to integrate the two organizations.
"As far as we are concerned, the Unification Church (and its related organizations) plays no appropriate role in the College Republicans," read Jim Munoz, president of the UCLA College Republicans and spokesman for the group, from the prepared statement.

Presidential candidates may arrange to speak on campus
By Diane Diaz

While the University Speaker's Committee is optimistic about having presidential candidates speak on campus this semester, the chances are becoming less likely due to a late California primary election, said Lam’ Berg, director of the Institute of Politics and Government.
"Candidates don't spend time in a state that isn't going to help them get the nomination," Berg said.
By the time the California primary comes up in June, the no-
mination may be sealed, he added.
However, Toper Taylor, campaign adviser for the Speakers Committee, said that there is a definite likelihood that presidential candidates will speak on campus this semester.
Taylor, who has contacted all campaign directors in the election said he has received a positive response from several of the candidates including Ruben Askew, Alan Cranston, John Glenn, Gary Hart, Ernest Hol-lings, Jesse Jackson and Walter Mondale.
These candidates have re-
sponded to Taylor's letters and phone calls by sending letters saying that they will contact the university if and when they do come to California, he said.
"If (the candidates) are looking for speaking engagements, we will be contacted," said Mike Hvnman, booking director for the Speaker's Committee. "We have received a good response from the candidates and feel that we will have a lot of them here," he added.
Berg said that the candidates have no real incentive to come to California since so many oth-(Continued on page 10)
SCampus artist works with the silver touch
Humorous art covers directory

Students at this university are in a culturally rich metropolis. They have access to the artwork of such greats as Van Gogh, Picasso and Sandy Silverthome. Who is Sandy Silverthome, you may ask? Anyone who knows his style can easily recognize his work, and most students here probably own some of his artwork without even realizing it.
For the past two years, Silverthome has been the cartoon illustrator whose humorous characters have livened up the cover and text drawings in SCampus, a guidebook for university students.
The university first discovered Silverthorne's artwork in 1980. After seeing a card he had designed for his mother, who worked in the Daily Trojan advertising department, a representative from Trov Camp asked him to create a logo for the organization.
"I did the logo in five minutes for free," Silverthome said. "They're still using the design on a van and on T-shirts. I was really flattered. My work with USC took off from there. I guess God rewarded me for doing it for free."
After drawing the Troy Camp logo, Silverthome was then commissioned to do the cover design and illustrations for the 1982-1983 SCampus by Clarence Anderson, who was then university editor.

"The SCampus used to be a thick small book that looked intimidating," Silverthome said. "Mr. Anderson thought that making the SCampus into the size it is now would make it more appealing. For the SCampus illustration, they gave me an old SCampus and said 'bye.' They let me do my own thing."
For the 1983-84 SCampus, Silverthorne's illustrations included a little moustached Italian chef twirling a huge pizza under the food services heading, and under the barbershop listing sat a student whose hairdo looked like a relic from the'60s.
But Silverthome, a softspoken 32-year-old man with brown hair and dark eyes, does not look like either of these characters.
"I am not a caricaturist. My drawings do not resemble real people," Silverthome commented.
While his cartoon characters may not look like humans, Silverthome has captured the humor of things that people actually do.
"He's a special illustrator," Anderson said. "His style isn't overdone, but when you see his w’ork, right away you know it's Sandy giving another chuckle."
Anderson added one of Silverthorne's strong points is his quick hand and quick inventive mind.
However, the quick hand that Silverthome developed over the years caused him some problems in college. He dropped the only college art class he took because he would finish an assignment in 15 minutes and have nothing to do for the rest of the class period.
